This study aimed to analyze the use of GRID 2 software and its implication in the teaching-learning, communication and inclusion processes of a student with autism in the Federal District. The research was based on the studies of Bersch (2009), Galvão Filho & Damasceno (2006) and Salomão (2013) and sought to understand the organization of pedagogical work in the Specialized Educational Assistance (AEE) offered to students with specific educational needs (SEN). The methodology used was the action research, which according to Barbier (2002), is supported in cyclical procedures of reflection and action to favor the process of change; the case study complemented the methodological approach. The study showed a greater articulation and collaboration among the professionals involved in student care, with evidence of improvement in their communication and perspective of school inclusion through assistive technology, and pointed to the need to invest in teacher training in regular and multifunctional resource rooms for the use of these technologies in the teaching and learning process.
